While its underreported because men are more reluctant to, it's well documented.

1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.1

1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.1

survey taken by the CDC in 2010, it was found that 40% of the victims of severe, physical domestic violence are men.

There is one common denominator in domestic abuse and it isn't what you are trying to make it. NCTraveler Nov 2015 #32

Men are abused by women as well B2G Nov 2015 #36

Not one bit- everything you said happens here exists Lee-Lee Nov 2015 #19
